The Honorable Phil Mendelson
Chairman
Council of the District of Columbia
John A. Wilson Building
1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 504
Washington, DC 20004-3001
Dear Chairman Mendelson:
Pursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, D.C. Official Code § 47- 363(a) and the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, approved February 3, 2026, Pub. Law No. 119- 75, the
Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) has reviewed the Mayor’s request to reprogram
Fiscal Year 2026 Local funds budget authority in the amount of $40,000 within the District of
Columbia Public Schools (DCPS). The funds are needed to cover administrative leave coverage
and staffing costs for extracurricular events at Jackson-Reed High School.
This reprogramming is below the $500,000 threshold amount requiring approval by the Council.
However, another reprogramming from DCPS has already been approved, and this reprogramming
would result in a cumulative change to the DCPS budget of more than $500,000.
This action will reprogram budget authority within the DCPS Schools division, from Account
Group 701300C (Additional Gross Pay) to Account Group 701500C (Overtime Pay). Funds are
available in DCPS’ budget based on the original appropriation but require reallocation to support
programmatic needs.
The Honorable Phil Mendelson, Chairman
FY 2026 Reprogramming Request for $40,000 of Local Funds Budget Authority within the District of Columbia

The Office of Budget and Planning’s analysis indicates that the reprogramming will not have an
adverse impact on DCPS’ budget or the District’s financial plan. The OCFO has no objection to
this reprogramming request.
Sincerely,
Glen Lee

DATE: January 22, 2026
SUBJECT: FY26 Reprogramming Request for $40,000 of local funds budget authority
within District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS).
DCPS is requesting a budget reprogramming of $40,000 in local funds budget authority within
DCPS for Jackson-Reed High School.
Why are the funds needed?
Due to administrative leave, coverage, and staffing requirements for extracurricular events,
additional funds are needed to stay within the school's Overtime budget.
Does this reprogramming restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council?
No.
Does this reprogramming establish new programs or change allocations specifically denied,
limited, or increased by the Council in the budget act, the accompanying budget report, or
mark-up sheets?
No.
How will the funds be reprogrammed?
The funds will be reprogrammed from Administrative Premium to Overtime accounts.
Why are the funds available?
FY26 Reprogramming Request for $40,000 of local funds budget authority within District of
Columbia Public Schools (DCPS).
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
The funds are available because the school is under the target spend threshold for administrative
premium at this point in the year.
What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal
year?
The school may exceed their overtime budget by the end of FY26, requiring a budget pressure
solve later.
What programs, services or other purchases will be delayed as a result of the action, and
the impact on the program or agency?
No other programs or services will be delayed as a result of the reprogramming request.
